She then "killed and ate the baby, sharing the food with the little daughter." After her return, Bates found the place and saw "the ashes of a fire" with the baby's "broken skull, and one or two charred bones" in them. She states that "baby cannibalism was rife among these central-western peoples, as it is west of the border in 292: 22: 209:."

Babies were killed by their mother,

When the Yumu, Pindupi, Ngali, or Nambutji were hungry, they ate small children with neither ceremonial nor animistic motives.

However, there seems to be no direct evidence that such acts actually had a religious meaning, and the Australian anthropologist 213:, Bates writes: "Cannibalism had been rife for centuries in these regions and for a thousand miles north and east of them."
